The BAB A7 aerosol beacon from Bertin Instruments is a versatile device designed to monitor atmospheric contamination of artificial radioactive aerosols and Gamma radiation. It is specially designed to meet the needs of the nuclear sector players, including nuclear fuel cycle facilities and dismantling work.
The detection performance of this type of device is influenced by several factors, such as Gamma background, Radon progeny activity, and measurement time. The BAB A7 monitor takes these factors into account thanks to its high-performance algorithm, which incorporates a dual time constant and discrimination of Radon progeny and Gamma background. This ensures excellent measurement performance, with fast detection and high accuracy.
The BAB A7 monitor offers the following functions:
- Rapid detection of artificial radioactive aerosols containing β-emitting radionuclides (Cs137, Co60) or α-emitting radionuclides (Pu239, Am241, U233, U239).
- Alarms in case of thresholds exceedance.
- Real-time monitoring of volumetric radioactivity levels (α and β) in the atmosphere, volumetric Radon and Thoron activities, as well as internal and external, via a probe (option), Gamma radiation levels, with data storage for several weeks.
- Display of a customizable graph showing activity history, Gamma dose rate, etc.
- Energy spectrum display.
With its large color display and intuitive interface, the BAB A7 is user-friendly, enabling fast and efficient operation. Advanced device parameters are easily accessible to meet specific needs and enable detailed diagnostics in case of alarms.
Thanks to its versatility and robustness, the BAB A7 monitor can be used in various operations, including workplace monitoring, environmental monitoring, and emissions control (ventilation or process).
Furthermore, its mobility allows for easy transportation to different locations, making it an ideal tool for field use.
The BAB A7 is a well-established and proven instrument in the market for many years. It is the optimal instrument for a wide range of applications.
